Russia's deployment of nuclear weapons in Crimea poses greatest danger - Major General Yahun
Major General Viktor Yahun, Deputy Head of Ukraine's Security Service (2014-2015), believes that Russia may say that if Ukrainians enter Crimea, nuclear weapons will be detonated or eliminated there
He expressed this opinion on Espreso TV.
“The most unfortunate thing is that there is an opinion amid Russia's statements about nuclear weapons in Belarus that they may actually deploy them in Crimea. And thus, to put the world in front of the fact that if Ukrainians enter the peninsula, these weapons will be blown up or eliminated. In other words, if Crimea is not ours, it is nobody's. And this is the biggest danger I foresee today,” the Major General of Ukraine's Security Service said.
Viktor Yahun noted that all other statements of the Russian Federation about red lines or emergency cases are a bluff.
